CORNWALL, Ontario – An east-end convenience store, the site of a grisly hatchet murder more than a decade ago, has a new owner. Four Leaf Convenience officially opened its doors on St. Patrick’s Day in Cornwall, Ont. And owner Christopher Rockwell, 30, couldn’t be happier about the response. “The neighborhood has been very kind and welcoming,” said Rockwell. “They definitely needed the store.” On the first day, there were 50 customers. The next: 75. And today (Thursday, Mar. 19), Rockwell is expecting more. “Lorneville Apartments have been very good to us,” he said. “Talking to all the customers is a lot of fun.” The large apartment complex a few hundred feet away contains over 130 units. James Gearey lives up the street from Four Leaf, and used to have to trek several blocks or take a cab to pick up several small items. “It’s so much more convenient,” said Gearey. He wished Rockwell all the best for the future considering the tragic past of the establishment. Store clerk Joane Bazinet was killed after suffering 17 blows from a hatchet at the hands
of Pierre Leduc, a Cornwall man who lived a few houses down from the then-Reggie’s Variety Store and was a frequent customer. Leduc received a life sentence, and will be eligible for parole in 2019. “After the tragedy that happened it’s understandable why it was closed down,” said Gearey. “But for me personally, I like that it’s back because it does breathe new life into the area.” Rockwell had no clue about the location’s notorious reputation before he made the purchase. “I didn’t live in Cornwall when it happened. It was all news to me,” he said. “When I signed the lease I had no idea. It was a shocker.” The subject is still uncomfortable for Rockwell and his staff. “I don’t want to stir emotions with the family,” he said. “We’re staying positive and trying not to talk about it.” Growing up in Syracuse, N.Y., Rockwell spent a great deal of his time at Maloney’s Superette. The friendly establishment with an Irish twist was a second home. So when he happened to walk by the thenempty retail space in May 2014, the for rent sign really struck a chord. “Ever since I was young I wanted to open a corner store and share my Irish roots,” said Rockwell.
Many service outages and interruptions are caused by tree limbs which when affected by wind or ice fall into power lines causing damage to wires, short circuits and other problems. This creates potential danger for the homeowner and their property, danger that can be avoided by not planting tall-growing trees under or near electric wires, and by routine tree trimming. Cornwall Electric utilizes tree trimmers trained in proper tree trimming techniques around energized lines. The trees are cleared the distance required to create a sufficient air barrier around the wires to reduce branch contacts due to icing and wind. Generally the branches are trimmed back to the parent limb on the tree. This practice allows the pruning cuts to “heal” more rapidly, reducing the chances of insect and disease damage, and promotes a healthier growth of branches that are directed away from the power lines. 6153499

Cornwall cop charged with assault, OPP investigate domestic incident Todd Lihou todd.lihou@tc.tc
Brockville, on April 10. The officer has been reassigned to administrative duties and is still being paid. Cloutier said this is typical of police officers who have been charged with a crime, depending on the severity of the charges. In other cases officers can be suspended with pay. “As with all domestic related incidents, the Cornwall Community Police Service does not release the name of the charged person to protect the privacy of victims of domestic violence,” Cornwall police said in a statement.
Seaway News has learned the identity of the officer, but is likewise withholding the name because it would identify the victim in the matter. The Cornwall police union is pledging to cooperate in the criminal investigation and is also standing by the officer and his family. “The (Cornwall Police Association) is supporting our member and his family while the OPP and (Cornwall police) complete their investigation into this matter,” said police association president Dave MacLean.

CORNWALL, Ontario - A Cornwall police officer is facing a criminal charge following a domestic violence investigation. OPP in Grenville County charged the officer nearly two weeks ago, but Cornwall police only released the information Tuesday. The 43-year-old male officer has been charged with assault. Cornwall Const. Dan Cloutier said the reason for the delay in releasing the information locally
is two-fold. “It wasn’t our investigation,” he said in an interview. “And he was charged on March 12... and it had to be reviewed by our professional standards (officer) prior to our release.” Professional standards officer, Staff Sgt. Dan Maille, was away on vacation until this week. “In an effort to be transparent we released it,” continued Cloutier. The officer, who has been a member with the Cornwall Community Police Service since 2008, is to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall’s mayor is warning it could be “years” before border agents operating in the city move to the U.S. under a new security agreement signed between Canadian and American officials this week. Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy warned that the Canada Border Services Agency has already spent time and money on creating an interim port of entry within city limits. CBSA has not said anything specific with regard to the Cornwall border crossing, and O’Shaughnessy is not bracing for an imminent announcement. “They’ve invested quite a bit of money in the building they have right now,” he said. “This may not be a priority area…and the implementation could take years and years.” The United States and Canada signed a major security agreement this week that will allow border patrol agents from both countries to work across the border. It also expands pre-customs clearance — going through customs before you even get to the border — to people traveling on roads, ships, and trains. Critics of the current border crossing setup in Cornwall, with an interim CBSA checkpoint at the bottom end of Brookdale Avenue near the St. Lawrence River, have suggested that moving the Canadian operation to the U.S. – where there is more room – would solve congestion problems in Cornwall and ease border wait times.

North Country Public Radio (NCPR) in the U.S. reported this week the agreement could make crossing the border more efficient, especially in Cornwall because CBSA agents could operate out of Massena. “Anybody who has crossed that crossing knows it is a very tight, landlocked situation they have on the Cornwall side which just doesn’t have the space to adequately build facilities to process trucks let alone growing volumes of traffic,” Garry Douglas, chair of the North Country Chamber of Commerce, told NCPR this week. Chris Kealey, a media representative with CBSA, referred all calls to Public Safety Canada. Josee Sirois, a spokesperson for Public Safety Canada was not immediately in a position to comment on the matter. Nearly two years ago CBSA officials who visited city hall to update councillors on the Cornwall border crossing were grilled about the future of the local crossing. When pressed by some councillors for a timeline to complete the negotiations under the socalled “Beyond the Borders” plan, CBSA officials could offer nothing concrete. “It’s hard to put a year on it,” said Arianne Reza, a regional national director with CBSA. “Negotiations are ongoing.” Reza, at the time, pointed out that it was years the CBSA operated interim home at the base of the Seaway International Bridge in Cornwall at the traffic circle that frustrated city motorists – suggesting the local file will move slowly before a decision is made.

CORNWALL, Ontario - It’s going to be a double dose of science research. The River Institute’s Mark MacDougall and Louis Savard will tag team as guest speakers for the Science and Nature on Tap at Schnitzels European Flavours on Wednesday, April 1, at 7 p.m. MacDougall and Savard study the aquatic life that exists on, under, and around rocks and sediment on the bottom of the St. Lawrence River so that they can determine its health. “The types of insects and plant life that one sees in the bottom of the river are key indicators of the quality of the water flowing by - as river detectives, the institute is examining these clues,” said Karen Douglass-Cooper, communications director at the River Institute of Environmental Sciences. She explained that the word ‘benthos’ refers to organisms which live on, in, or near the bottom. The sensitivity of a freshwater ‘benthic’ community to changes in environmental quality makes them an essential part of any biomonitoring program. MacDougall recently joined the River Institute in Cornwall with a BSc in Environment from University of Guelph and an MSc from Waterloo in Aquatic Ecology. He has also worked with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change and with Grand River Conservation. MacDougall’s research has included a wide range of aquatic organisms, including: algae, turtles, fish, insect, and frogs focusing on aquatic ecology and biomonitoring. He is particularly interested in looking at algae (diatoms) as an indicator of aquatic health. As MacDougall’s partner in laboratory investigation, Savard has a wealth of diverse experiences in environmental research and is a distinguished graduate of the Environmental Technician program of St. Lawrence College in Cornwall. Along with his work with algae and aquatic ecology, Savard has also developed a unique

Minimum wage hike ‘slippery slope’: chamber prez Adam Brazeau adam.brazeau@tc.tc
CORNWALL, Ontario - The president of the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce is sounding off against the minimum wage increase in Ontario, which becomes reality this fall. The provincial government announced Thursday basic wage will jump to $11.25/hr in October, up from $11/hr. Chamber President Kevin Hargreaves, owner of Kelsey’s in Cornwall, characterized the 25-cent boost as undue stress on local businesses. “Just jacking up minimum wage to offset
people under the poverty line is a slippery slope,” said Hargreaves. “The haves and havenots will continue to be in those spots.” The government raised minimum wage 75 cents to $11 in 2014 hargreaves — the first time it had gone up since 2010. He believes the wage increases hurt small businesses operating on very thin margins, forcing owners to cut down staff and drive up prices.
Hargreaves pointed out that Ontario and Nunavut currently pay the highest minimum wages at $11 per hour. “Minimum wage is there so you can earn a living without an education - the onus is on the person to further educate themselves or consider a trade,” he said. “Businesses shouldn’t have to pay for the burden of the employee.” Brian Lynch disagrees. According to the newly re-elected president of the federal and provincial NDP riding associations in Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry, the wage increase is actually good for local businesses. “I don’t accept his line of thinking at all - a
higher minimum wage would be helpful since most people under the poverty line spend their disposal income in the community,” said Lynch. In Sept. 2013, he joined the Cornwall & District Labour Council in a protest march aimed at large corporate chains, such as Tim Hortons and McDonald’s, to raise the benchmark wage to $14. Lynch noted that increasing the wage will help make low-income families less dependent on government programs. “You can’t support a family on minimum wage,” he said. “An extra 25 cents...it’s peanuts, really.” NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair is calling for a federal minimum wage of $15/hr by 2019.
South Stormont property tax climbs three per cent Adam Brazeau adam.brazeau@tc.tc
CORNWALL, Ontario - South Stormont taxpayers will have to dig deeper this year, as property owners will see a three per cent hike in municipal taxes. The increase will add roughly $81 to residents’ annual tax bills, based on a Current Value Assessment (CVA) of $199,000. This amount includes the education tax and county rate anticipated adjustments for 2015. “We have a busy year planned,” said Mayor Jim Bancroft. “Council is committed to the South Stormont taxpayers, and we want to deliver effective and efficient municipal services.” Major infrastructure needs that range from the construction of the Emergency Medical
Services (EMS) building on Moulinette Road to upgrades to the arena for a seasonal controller, dominate the budget. According to the township, the reserves and reserve fund balances is budgeted to increase an additional $350,000. The financial position is expected to be presented to the public during May 2015 by the municipal auditor. Township officials also expect that budget documents and the approved tax rate bylaw will be available on the South Stormont website next month.

Kinsmen Pizza Party rolls in dough for local causes CORNWALL, Ontario - The Kinsmen Club of Cornwall raised $13,700 for youth-related agencies and initiatives, as city pizzerias competed for top slice on Friday, March 20. Over 255 hungry guests gathered at the service club’s ninth annual Pizza Party to feast on the eight varieties of pies served up by local restaurants. Event chair Dan Carbonnell said $121,535 has been raised in the last nine years. An amount he described as a dream come true. “This is an event we have a lot of fun doing it’s a loud, fun, community-gathering with great food and desserts,” said Carbonnell. Who had the best slice? According to an expert panel of judges, including TC Media editor Todd Lihou, the winner is (drumroll, please) Louis Pizzeria (making it a three-peat victory). Second went to 2-4-1 Pizza, and Bobby’s Place took third.
But the crowd had their say, too. The People’s Choice top three: Louis’, Bobby’s Place, and Best Famous Pizza. The Pizza Party included a silent auction with a variety of items donated by businesses and the club’s supporters. And there was no shortage of Kins. The service club’s Brockville chapter arrived in full force with 16 members to show solidarity and satisfy their appetites. Proceeds were sliced several ways: The Boys and Girls Club of Cornwall/SDG - $1,000 The Eamer’s Corners Public School Spec Ops Program (a fitness and character development program) - $2,000 Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cornwall and District - $2,000 Victim Services of SDG&A - $2,500 A $1,000 cheque was also presented to the family of Sean Cowan, an 11-year-old Eamer’s Corners Public School Grade 6 student battling leukemia.

TAG president says council comments were ‘hurtful’ Todd Lihou todd.lihou@tc.tc
CORNWALL, Ontario - The president of The Art Gallery - Cornwall believes city councillors should be following up on pledges they made during the October election. In a letter submitted to area media, Wyatt Walsh is calling on residents to support TAG by contacting those same councillors. TAG’s funding was recently capped at $13,500 for the year instead of the $70,000 that it requested, mainly because councillors are
fearful that internal strife at the gallery is leading to operational problems. “The questions asked at our presentation were not related to the presentation,” Walsh said in his letter. “The statements made were hurtful given the sacrifices that this new board was happy to make to ensure the future success of the art community in Cornwall and the area. “We hope that council as a whole would consider the full and true impact of TAG and its place in Cornwall and support the arts as many of them stated they would during the
election.” But how likely it is that council would reverse its budget decision is a matter of debate. Last week a handful of councillors, meeting during a marathon budget session, terminated the funding for the balance of this year. TAG can reapply next year for municipal cash. Coun. Andre Rivette pointed to the fact that TAG has undergone wholesale changes at the board level, a few times. “It’s tax dollars. We have to make sure we spend them responsibly. There was a turnover
of two boards,” he said. “We have to make sure it was stable.” In his letter Walsh counters that TAG is an integral component of the local arts scene. “TAG Cornwall has been around over 30 years, over 20 in the same location,” he said. “While it has endured criticism, as all organizations have at one point or another; it has functioned and nurtured some of the finest talent that has ever been exhibited in Cornwall. “It has also been the place where many young people have been exposed to the arts via school and summer programs.”
Arts council creates petition, hopes to secure more funds from city hall Todd Lihou todd.lihou@tc.tc
CORNWALL, Ontario - A local arts council wants residents to sign a petition that aims to put pressure on city councillors to reverse a funding cut approved days ago. Your Arts Council (YAC) set up the online petition Friday following a decision by city councillors to cut its 2015 funding to $12,242 from the $35,000 requested. “We’ve established ourselves,” said Richard
Salem, who is acting in place of YAC executive director Bruce Davis. YAC is prepared to operate with the funding reduction, but not without making significant internal cuts. “We may not have the funds to operate with a full-time executive director,” said Salem. “We met as a board...and decided that regardless of what funding we get we’ll continue as a board and do what we can in the community.” The Art Gallery - Cornwall (TAG) also went
under the knife at budget time, with councillors capping its funding at $13,500 for the year, down from the $70,000 it requested. This week TAG chair Wyatt Walsh accused councillors of being “hurtful” in comments it made concerning the operation of the agency. City council is set to approve the 2015 budget March 30. Councillors can still revisit funding applications up to that time. YAC posted its petition Friday afternoon. By 2:30 p.m. it had one signature. It can be found here.
Salem said YAC needs the funding so that it can leverage other agencies for more money. It operated for the last two years by way of a Trillium Foundation grant. “We cannot go back to the Trillium trough,” he said. “We have to show we have support from local municipalities.” He said some regional communities have indicated they would be willing to help, while others are waiting to see what city council will do.

CORNWALL, Ontario - It felt more like a Cirque du Soleil performance than a dance competition. And that was no coincidence. The second edition of ‘Move With The Beat’ took over Aultsville Theatre on Saturday (March 21). Ottawa’s KaliAndrews Dance Company’s jaw-dropping aerial acrobatics captivated the crowd, as performers donning gold masks and matching outfits huddled together on stage and transformed a three-sided ladder into moving poetry. The two-day event is the only all-ages competition combining dance, circus, and aerial acrobatics, according to its director Meaghan Wegg. The 29-year-old Montreal resident graduated in 2005 from L’Ecole Nationale de Cirque and toured internationally with the famous dance troupe. She holds a diploma specializing in the highest level of circus coaching, and majored in aerial hoop and minored in contortion. “Circus has become very popular in the dance world, but at competitions there’s no category for it – they just compete against acrobatic dancers,” said Wegg. She described the event as an opportunity for dancers to get experience in front of an
audience on a stage with professional judges. All of the dancers go home with a video demo of their act, with feedback of the judging critiques. Being under the spotlight and scrutiny of the judges didn’t faze the Diva Dolls, Lauren Gale and Britney Disotell of Cornwall’s Beat Central Dance Company (BCDC). The novice competitors reveled in loud cheers during their hip-hop inspired routine. “We’ve been practicing since December,” said Disotell. “I thought it was going to be scary, but we just went out and fun.” The Diva Dolls agreed the event gave them a newfound confidence. BCDC leader Jane Hennessy Craibe said all 144 dancers in 62 routines from the local company earned their standing ovations. Move With The Beat drew dancers from Montreal, Ottawa, Terrebonne, Brockville, Chatham, and Woodlawn. Powell School of Dance was the only other Cornwall squad.

CORNWALL, Ontario – A new face with a familiar look has entered the race to become the local Liberal candidate in a looming federal election. Bernadette Clement officially announced her plans to seek the nomination at a breakfast launch Wednesday morning at the Best Western. With her announcement she becomes, arguably, the frontrunner in the race to fill the Liberal candidate spot. Clement, a city councillor who has led the polls in municipal elections multiple times, said her decision to seek a second consecutive spot as the Liberal candidate was painstaking. “I took a good long time to make the decision. After 2011 I didn’t think that I would do it again. It was a very difficult process,” she said. Clement ran, and lost, in 2011 to incumbent Tory MP Guy Lauzon by a wide margin – about 21,000 votes, one of the biggest landslide victories in local politics. She nudged out NDP candidate Mario Leclerc for second place by less than 200 votes. “I felt kind of sad about that. But then a year later I realized I had won something – more strength and more understanding about who you are and what your strengths are,” she said. Critics, though, could point out that Clement has done this before: win a strong mandate municipally, but then aspire to another place in government by virtue of her last foray into federal politics. “Municipal politics is my first love. It always will be. It’s where you are closest to the people,” she said. “Public service at the federal level is the same thing. I feel like I can bring skills to that level of government as well. “I can’t sort of sit idly by in this federal process. I didn’t think I would do it again, but I see our country more and more divided. I see a lot of people, young people in particular, disillusioned with the process.” She told Liberal party supporters Wednesday morning she views the October election as a chance to send a message about creating a greater voice for Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry in Ottawa. “I’ve talked to voters throughout the riding,” she said. “They tell me they want to see a government that truly brings people together instead of dividing our country, and one that addresses our needs, from infrastructure to health care to the environment. “They want a government that has a plan, to actually deal with our problems so that our future can be full of opportunity.” Patricia Pichette and Corey Kalsi are also seeking the nomination. Clement is expected to be “green lit” by the party in the coming weeks. If she gains the nomination, Clement said she will remain on city council until the 30- to 40-day election campaign when she will take a leave of absence.

Indy movie series nears end of season Roxanne Delage CORNWALL, Ontario - Although it is winding down, there is still time to catch some outstanding independent films, locally, courtesy of the Aultsville Theatre Wednesday Night Movie Series. Coming very soon, is the Canadian film, Big News from Grand Rock, on March 25, at 7:30 p.m., screening at Galaxy Cinema. Big News from GrandRock is the story of Leonard Crane, played by Ennis Esmer, the editor of a small town newspaper facing bankruptcy. In an attempt to attract advertisers and readership, the editor begins inventing stories based on old movies. The plan pays off, until one of the stories attracts
the attention of Lucy (Meredith MacNeill), an ambitious reporter from the big city, who exposes Leonard’s hoax. He discovers, however, that one of his stories may be true, but having cried wolf too many times, no one believes him. They must then team up to try to save the town, the newspaper and his reputation. Filmed in the scenic Ontario town of Midland, on the shores of Georgian Bay, Big News from Grand Rock will tickle your funny bone with its gentle humour and enjoyable characters. The series continues, in April, with Red Army, a feature documentary about the Soviet Union and the most successful dynasty in sports history, The
Red Army Hockey Team. Told from the perspective of its captain, Slava Fetisov, the story portrays his transformation from national hero to political enemy, and explains how sport mirrors social and cultural movements and parallels the rise and fall of the team. Tickets for the series are available at the Civic Complex Box Office, or prior to the screening, at Galaxy Cinemas. The series ends in May, with a yet-to-beannounced finale.

2015 NISSAN ROGUE
THAT’S LIKE PAYING ONLY
OPINION
Pair of police officers make headlines - for the wrong reasons Todd Lihou todd.lihou@tc.tc
To name a guilty party…or not. In recent days two Cornwall police officers have made headlines for dubious behaviour. The first one got demoted for doctoring sick time while on duty…essentially a case of time theft. Then, not unlike a parachute dropping out of the sky on an otherwise slow news day, Cornwall police announced another of their members had been charged by the OPP following an investigation into domestic abuse. In both cases the Cornwall Community Police Service declined to name the officers…but readers are screaming for blood - they want the names. But should they get them? It’s a slippery slope, to be sure. In the case of the officer facing criminal charges the decision to withhold the name is a nobrainer. By naming the officer (he lives in Grenville County and joined the police force in 2008, so that really narrows it down) the alleged victim in the case is also identified. Every expert in the book (and others who aren’t) will tell you this revictimizes persons who have already been subjected to trauma…so keeping the name out is warranted. The decision to omit the name of the Cornwall police officer found doctoring the time cards is a little more complex. Source(s) indicated to me weeks ago that punishment for the officer was being meted out, and I decided to wait until after things had become official before printing anything. No one
else knew about it (outside the police station, that is) so I figured we wouldn’t get scooped on anything if I decided to wait. I got a call from Staff Sgt. Dan Maille a couple of weeks ago when the brass learned I knew what was going on. Maille asked if I would divulge my source(s)…I would not. If I do that, I might as well go work at SCM because no one will tell me anything ever again. We went with the story online last week after confirming some more details. Should he be named? It’s a helluva good question - with valid arguments being made on both sides. First of all, this was an internal matter…not unlike a person getting busted for playing hooky but on a grander scale. If you got caught abusing sick time you would be sanctioned – but would your name appear in the newspaper? I realize the cop is paid with taxpayer money and should be held to a higher standard, but we set a small precedent last year when we learned of five guys in the public works department who got turfed for time theft. They’re paid with taxpayer money too. Some took early retirement, and others returned after being sanctioned. We knew their names…and didn’t run them. I also learned a few months ago of another city employee who got busted for showing up drunk to work. You won’t find his name in the paper either. Lots of people screw up at work…but a public shaming isn’t always the consequence. It was suggested the cop should lose their job. The individual came within a hair of just that,
public. CITY HALL NOTES: Those four new firefighters that are in the budget right now may not be by next week. Word around the council table is councillors who were prepared to vote to fill those vacant posts have had a change of heart … There’s no political will to fund The Art Gallery - Cornwall, but there is a bit of rumbling to find something for Your Arts Council…Fire chief Rick McCullough is retiring in a matter of weeks, but his replacement won’t be chosen in time for the departure, so he is going to hang around a bit longer…We have it on good authority the selection people have whittled a field of candidates down to two – both of whom are from out of town.
I am told. And many cops tell me now the officer will find it very difficult to function, especially when it comes to offering testimony in court. “They’re done,” suggested one law enforcement type this week. Time will tell. The officer didn’t get off easy. They forfeited a whack of sick time, were demoted and consequently will give up the better part of $25,000 over the next two years…so for those suggesting they got off Scott free, they didn’t. Should the officer be outed? Chances are if you are even remotely connected to the police station in some way, you already know who it is. This is a small city, and it gets smaller by the minute when these types of incidents go
LETTERS Dear editor: In reference to the article in the Cornwall Seaway News regarding Minimum Wage I would like to clarify my position as my comments have clearly offended some people. I stated that post secondary education is not required to earn minimum wage, I never said that minimum wage workers are uneducated. I have several post secondary grads in my employ. I did say that “the onus is on the person to further educate themselves or consider a
trade”. In the mean time, a lot minimum wage jobs teach valuable skills that can be applied to higher paying jobs down the road. This extra 25 cents an hour that goes into effect in the fall of this year puts more money in the governments pockets but does not do much to offset the cost of living for minimum wage workers. However, to a small business owner such as myself 25 cents per employee x 40-50 employees an hour is very significant to my bottom line. (Yes, I bought and operate a business
the average family. I have been in the restaurant industry for close to 30 years, half of which I spent working as a minimum wage worker. I respect all of my employees immensely and I know first hand of their struggle but now that I’m a business owner I can see both sides. I never meant any disrespect to any hard working Canadians that earn a living on minimum wage.
to make a living so of course I care about profit). Some people have assumed that just because I own a business with a well known chain name that I am rich at the expense of my employees, but that is just not the case and I am far from rich. Yes, I drive a nice car and try to take a vacation down south every year but I believe I have earned that. My wife and I don’t have any children so we obviously have more disposable income than

TRIVIA On June 27, 1960 the first cold war nuclear fallout shelter built in Canada under the recently created Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) was opened in Cornwall. Where in the city was it built? TRIVIA ANSWER Cy Denneny was born in Farran’s Point (Dec. 23, 1891), a hamlet just west of Cornwall. It was swallowed up by the St. Lawrence Seaway/Power Project. The family moved to Cornwall when Cy was a young boy. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1959. Denneny played 11 seasons with the Ottawa Senators. His name is on the Stanley Cup five times - four with the Senators and once with the Boston Bruins. He won the NHL scoring title in 1923-24. In 1998 The Hockey News ranked him 62nd on a list of the 100 greatest hockey players. (Cornwall native Newsy Lalonde was ranked 32nd). Cy’s brother, Corb, played on two Stanley Cup championship teams.

Laurie Lacelle, the Kingston prosecutor who has been named a judge to the Superior Court of Justice in Cornwall, made a name for herself in the 2012 conviction of three Afghan immigrants accused of murdering four female family members. The father, mother and a brother were found guilty of dumping the bodies in the Rideau Canal in Kingston inside one of the family vehicles in 2009. They received life sentences with no chance of release for 25 years. The jury heard from Lacelle that the murder plot was hatched weeks earlier in their Montreal home. The trial started in October 2011 with the guilty verdicts delivered in January 2012. So convincing was the prosecution’s case, the jury took just 15 hours to deliver the verdicts. That is an incredibly short time considering the length of the trial and mountain of evidence to consider. The victims were three sisters - age 19, 17 and 13 - and the accused father’s first wife, who lived with the ex-husband and his new wife. The sensational trial garnered international attention and put Lacelle in the national spotlight. One of the country’s top columnists, Christie Blatchford of Postmedia, was dispatched to cover the trial. Cable news giants CNN and Fox News took more than a passing interest in the trial. The motive established by the prosecutor? The family was shamed because the two eldest girls - 19 and 17 - had taken up a Western lifestyle and were dating young men against the father’s wishes. The judge didn’t hold back in his post-verdict
comments. “The apparent reason behind these cold-blooded, shameful murders was that the four completely innocent victims offended your twisted notion of honour, a notion of honour founded upon the domination and control of women, a sick notion that has no place in any civilized society,” he told the prison-bound trio. One of the three defence lawyers claimed he was expecting not guilty verdicts because, in his opinion, the prosecution’s case was weak. The evidence compiled by the prosecution in the complex case was anything but weak. Guess you have to say something like that before sending in the bill. SEEN AND HEARD A slew of hospitals across the province have announced staffing cuts to balance the books. And, as usual, front-line warriors such as nurses are the favourite target. At Ottawa’s CHEO, 50 nursing positions are being chopped. ... The annual Cornwall Community Police report tells us crime took another drop in 2014. If the trend continues, we could be crime free by 2020. ... The pyramids have been standing for a couple of thousand years, yet with all of today’s technology we can’t construct public buildings that don’t have expensive structural problems within two or three years. ... Can anybody recall pump prices falling four or five cents a litre overnight, the way they usually increase? ... A little known fact from the Second World War is that in 1942 a U-boat put several Nazi agents ashore on the east coast of the U.S. with a mission that included bombing the Alcoa plant in Massena, just a few miles from Cornwall. The plot was uncovered and the would-be saboteurs

S. Glengarry amends new ‘open air burning’ bylaw Adam Brazeau adam.brazeau@tc.tc
CORNWALL, Ontario - The Township of South Glengarry has fire in its eyes. Council passed a more comprehensive ‘open air burning’ bylaw at its regular meeting on March 9. Officials have divided burning into four categories: agricultural and land clearing, burn barrels, backyard recreational fire pits and outdoor fireplaces, and special events. The new bylaw doesn’t apply to BBQs used for cooking food. Fire pits (except camp fire), outdoor fire places, portable receptacles or structures within
residential boundaries must be seven metres/20 feet from buildings, property lines, trees, overhead power lines, combustible fences, and any combustible material; have enclosed sides made of brick, concrete, heavy gauge steel, or any other suitable non-combustible material; and an open flame area cannot not exceed one metre/3.28 feet. Fines for breaking the bylaw can reach up to $25,000 per person or $50,000 per corporation.

CORNWALL, Ontario - A new bonspiel sliding its way to the Cornwall Curling Centre will help Habit for Humanity build its 12th home in the Seaway Valley. ‘Rock the House’ takes place this Saturday, from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. “We’re still looking for some teams to register,” said Charles Leclair, special events coordinator at Habitat Seaway Valley. Registration for a group of 4-5 members is $100 and includes two draws/games with a spaghetti supper being served from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. There will be silent auction items, live music, and a 50/50 cold draw to the ‘Button Challenge’ throughout the day. Judith David, coordinator of volunteers,
D
home-builds, and safety at Habitat Seaway, said construction activities are on hold for 2015, in an effort to raise funds and awareness. The next home-build project will break ground in Glengarry County in 2016. “We’ve been building one home nearly every year - it’s not a bad record, except it’s only one,” said David. “What we need is to get our house in order so we can do two, or even three, in the future.” The Seaway Valley chapter of the community-based, non-profit, faith-based organization was established in 1999. Since then, 11 homes have been built for low-income families throughout Stormont and Dundas. “Glengarry wasn’t neglected,” said David. “We looked for a family in 2012, but there weren’t enough people to do outreach and nobody filled out an application. Now, we have
a better program and are able to do more.” To work closer with SD&G residents, Habitat Seaway is currently setting up “proper policies” and revamping its board of directors at an election this May. David noted that some “very exciting people” have expressed interest. “Funds never hurt, but we also want people to be aware of our services - whether they need a home or are able to lend a helping hand,” she said. “We’re looking forward to turning a new corner.” In 2014, a few dozen volunteers rallied on Larin Avenue to complete the second homebuild in Cornwall that year. The Cornwall Construction Association, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Seaway Valley, will be hosting this event.

COUNCIL NOTICE
NEWS
The United Buddy Bears are World Travellers Nick Wolochatiuk Dances With Words nuthilltoo@gmail.com One would expect to see vintage cars, large cigars and sandy beaches in Cuba. However, downtown Havana is not where a traveller would expect to see 120 bears. Since 2002, a band of over 120 brightly coloured two-meter high fiberglass bears have been roaming across every continent except Antarctica. (To the best of my knowledge, there never have been an ‘ursa anything’ resident in the Antarctic). In 2001 the concept of these bears originated with a German couple, Klaus and Eva Herlitz, in cooperation with sculptor Roman Strobol. The message of their offspring, known as the ‘United Buddy Bears’ is “Peace, international understanding and tolerance among nations, cultures and religions of this world.”
This goal is remarkably similar to “The Quilt of Belonging”, which originated in Williamstown, Ontario and was first unveiled to the public in 2005. All bears are displayed at the same level, in a circle, in alphabetical order of the host nation. Therefore, the order can vary depending on the spelling of the country in which they are displayed. For example, the label for the ‘United States of America’ bear became ‘Etats Unis’ when it was displayed in France. From January to March, 2015, the bears have occupied the San Francisco de Assis Plaza in downtown Havana, Cuba. The Herlitz couple, the originators of the United Buddy Bears, were in attendance. Witnessing the delight of the bear viewers is as much of a treat as seeing the bears themselves. If the bears ever make it to anywhere near you, make sure you have at least a whole day for viewing, and put a fully-charged battery and an 8 GB card in your digital camera.
BARE BEAR BOTTOMS – The enthusiastic crowds in Havana were usually so dense that only from behind could one get an unobstructed view of a partial row of the circle of 120. (Photo by Juliet Gill)

Fashionista’s journey to a dream job circles back to hometown Adam Brazeau adam.brazeau@tc.tc
CORNWALL, Ontario - Rent Frock Repeat three words that changed businesswoman Lisa Coleman-Delorme’s life, and now lends the Cornwall area access to high-end fashion. She left the city in her rear-view 27 years ago. But after co-founding a dress rental website in 2010 that offers frocks from top designers at a fraction of the retail cost, all the hard work is paying off for Coleman-Delorme. With a central location already established in Toronto, Rent Frock Repeat launched its Ottawa showroom in the ByWard Market in late February. Shopaholics can rejoice knowing the e-commerce aspect of the business will allow it to support smaller areas like Cornwall with ‘pop-up’ shops. “It would be really fun to partner with other local companies,” said Coleman-Delorme, 44. With numerous galas and swanky fundraisers in and around the city on an annual basis, she envisions jewelry designers and other fashion-forward businesses and entrepreneurs supplying the accessory rentals for the dresses. “There’s a bunch of different ways we want to do it and still support the community, without being there permanently,” said
Coleman-Delorme. “It’ll be interesting to come in and do pop-up shops to give people access to high-end fashion they never had before.” Rent Frock Repeat started when she and longtime friend Kristy Wieber were invited to a wedding. Neither wanted to buy another expensive dress that would only be worn once. They thought their dilemma was solved after reading about an American dress rental service, but were disappointed to learn it didn’t ship to Canada. “It (the business) came out of our necessity,” she said. “After researching, we really believed Canadian woman wanted this as much as we did. So a year later, we opened up the online version, and after three months we opened up our showroom in Toronto.” Coleman-Delorme was born in the Maritimes and moved to Cornwall at age 5. Her mom is a Cornwallite and her dad’s parents traveled to the city from Italy when he was a child. But she moved to Ottawa at 17. “As somebody who grew up in Cornwall, I Rent Frock Repeat CEO Lisa Coleman-Delorme mingles at the opening of her Ottawa was always interested in fashion and felt like I showroom.

With the upcoming arrival of April we also welcome daffodils and the Canadian Cancer Society’s annual awareness campaign. It is always inspiring to see these springtime symbols of renewal and hope. The volunteers at the Canadian Cancer Society are hard at work in their communities and across Canada, knocking on doors, organizing special events, and offering their legendary yellow daffodils in the form of pins or in all their fresh, natural beauty. Donations collected during Daffodil Month are used to fund cancer research, public information programs, and services related to the prevention of cancer. This money is also used to advocate for survivors and support people living with cancer, as well as their families and caregivers. Would you like to make a donation to the Society? During April, when the campaign is in full swing, you can purchase beautiful daffodils or a pin to wear in your lapel to show your solidarity for this cause. You can also donate via the Society’s website at www.cancer.ca. Would you like to actively participate in the campaign? You could organize a fundraising event or participate in an event organized as part of the campaign, such as the Relay for Life. You could also simply sponsor a participant. Nobody is immune to this devastating disease, despite all the progress that has been made. By participating in Daffodil Month in any way you can, you will be helping in the fight against cancer.
Chemotherapy,
right here at home in 2015
“I will have to have chemotherapy for the rest of my life. It would be so wonderful not to have to travel for treatment”. My name is Denise Lalande and I am writing to you today on behalf of so many in this community whose life depends on chemotherapy treatments. Just before Christmas in 2007, I received some news that no one wants to hear: I had cancer. Stage 4 cancer. The kind that is not curable, only treatable. At the age of 49, this news was hard to take. I didn’t leave my house for weeks; and refused to talk about it. My thoughts were racing. Would I ever get to see my grandchildren? I initially went for 4 chemo treatments, then 5 radiation treatments, and I am now having another round of chemo. I have spent countless hours on the road to Ottawa or Winchester feeling nauseuous, chilled and fatigued. If we had a chemo department here at CCH, it would make what is already a difficult journey a little easier. I am lucky to have my husband take me to all of my appointments, but others are not that lucky. Waiting hours for their ride, or riding with strangers when they are not feeling well, is a reality that cancer patients know all too well when they have to travel a great distance for their treaments. Travel to another hospital is not only time consuming but expensive. Parking can be as much as $16 per visit in Ottawa, along with the gas to get there. I have even spent the night in a hotel due to snowy weather to make sure that I could make my early morning appointment. If we had chemotherapy available locally, some could regain a sense of independence. Patients could take a taxi, a bus or even drive to their appointments, instead of relying on someone to drive them out of town. It has been a rollercoaster ride over the past seven years. Chemotherapy has extended my life and I will have to have chemo for the rest of my life. It would be so wonderful not to have to travel for treatment. I hope you will join me today in investing in the chemotherapy program at CCH. Money can’t buy time but it can provide the chemotherapy to extend time for myself and your friends and family who are struggling with this life changing disease. Tomorrow is another day, but I choose to look further than that. I am thrilled to say that I now have 6 beautiful grandchildren! With sincere gratitude for another tomorrow,
Your gift will help make it possible to treat 275 chemotherapy patients a year, right here at home. 6155023

Radiothon for Chemotherapy
THURSDAY, APRIL 2nd 6am to 7pm
Local healthcare, a continuous need The Ontario government funds hospital operations and building capital, however there is an expectation for local communities to contribute towards the purchase of equipment and services. Where government leaves off, the Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation reaches out for donor investment.
Hundreds of cancer patients are currently relying on family or friends to transport them to Winchester, Ottawa, or even as far as Kingston or Montreal for their cancer treatment. Some patients have to rely on volunteers to transport them. In 2012 more than 400 people* in Cornwall and SD&G needed transportation services to get to their cancer related appointments. Will you join with us as we continue to invest in your hospital so that chemotherapy will be available for our families, neighbours and all those who struggle under the heavy load of this life changing disease?

The initial start up list of chemotherapy equipment will cost approximately
= $100,000.
= $300,000.
On average cancer treatment requires a minimum of 14 trips* resulting in a minimum of 42 hours of travelling time.
The average transportation cost (not including parking, meals and lost wages) to one round trip appointment is $66.00.*
Just the transportation costs alone for an average cancer treatment can be a minimum of $942.* FRESH RADIO | LOGOS CORNWALL

Des soins de chimiothérapie,
ici même dans notre communauté en 2015
Foundation de l’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall
« Je devrai suivre des traitements de chimiothérapie toute ma vie. Ce serait si merveilleux de ne pas avoir à parcourir de grandes distances pour le faire. » Je m’appelle Denise Lalande. Je vous écris au nom de tant de personnes de notre communauté dont la vie dépend de traitements de chimiothérapie. En 2007, juste avant Noël, j’ai reçu une nouvelle que personne ne veut entendre. J’avais un cancer de stade 4. Ce type de cancer est traitable, mais incurable. À 49 ans, c’était difficile à entendre. Je ne suis pas sortie de chez moi pendant des semaines et je refusais d’en parler. Mes pensées se bousculaient dans ma tête. Aurais-je le temps de voir mes petits-enfants? J’ai d’abord subi quatre traitements de chimiothérapie, puis cinq de radiothérapie. Je reçois actuellement une autre série de traitements de chimiothérapie. J’ai passé d’innombrables heures sur la route entre Ottawa ou Winchester. J’avais alors des nausées, des frissons et j’étais fatiguée. Un service de chimiothérapie ici à l’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall (HCC) aiderait un peu à alléger un cheminement déjà difficile. Heureusement, mon mari peut m’emmener à tous mes rendez-vous, mais d’autres n’ont pas la chance d’être accompagnés. Lorsqu’on ne se sent pas bien, attendre un tour pendant des heures ou se déplacer avec des étrangers sur de grandes distances afin de suivre des traitements, c’est une réalité que des personnes atteintes d’un cancer connaissent. Se rendre à un autre hôpital exige du temps et c’est cher. Le stationnement coûte jusqu’à 16 $ par visite à Ottawa, sans compter l’essence. J’ai passé une nuit à l’hôtel en raison d’une tempête de neige pour m’assurer d’être à un rendezvous tôt le matin. Si des services de chimiothérapie étaient disponibles dans notre communauté, certaines personnes pourraient retrouver un sentiment d’autonomie. Elles pourraient prendre un taxi, l’autobus, ou même conduire leur auto pour se rendre à leur rendez-vous au lieu de devoir compter sur quelqu’un pour se rendre à l’extérieur de la ville. Les sept dernières années ont été des montagnes russes. La chimiothérapie a prolongé ma vie et je devrai suivre de tels traitements toute ma vie. Ce serait si merveilleux de ne pas avoir à parcourir de grandes distances pour le faire. J’espère que vous vous joindrez à moi dès aujourd’hui en investissant dans un programme de chimiothérapie à l’HCC. Le temps ne s’achète pas, mais l’argent peut permettre de prolonger la vie, comme dans mon cas et celui de vos amis et des membres de votre famille qui doivent composer avec cette maladie qui change des vies. Demain est un autre jour, mais j’ai choisi de voir plus loin. Je suis ravie de dire que j’ai maintenant six beaux petits-enfants!

Des soins de santé locaux : un besoin continu Le gouvernement de l’Ontario finance le fonctionnement et les fonds d’immobilisations des hôpitaux. Cependant, on s’attend à ce que les collectivités locales contribuent à l’achat d’équipement et de services. La Fondation de l’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall prend le relais du gouvernement en sollicitant les investissements de donateurs.
Des centaines de personnes atteintes d’un cancer comptent actuellement sur les membres de leur famille, leurs amis ou des bénévoles pour les emmener à Winchester, Ottawa, voire aussi loin qu’à Kingston ou Montréal pour y suivre des traitements. En 2012, plus de 400 personnes* de Cornwall et des Comtés unis de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry ont eu besoin de services de transport pour se rendre à leurs rendez-vous de cancérologie. Vous joindrez-vous à nous afin de continuer à investir dans notre hôpital pour que des services de chimiothérapie soient offerts aux familles, à nos voisins et à toutes les personnes devant composer avec le poids de cette maladie qui change des vies?

Brown bag it for charity Adam Brazeau adam.brazeau@tc.tc
CORNWALL, Ontario - Skip dining out or ordering in for the Agape Centre’s ‘Lunch Money Day’ on Thursday, March 26. Donate what you would’ve otherwise spent at lunch to support the food bank and soup kitchen. Kendra Smith, the centre’s volunteer coordinator, encourages the entire community to take part – individuals, organizations, businesses, schools, friends, and families. The event isn’t entirely restricted to a brown paper bag potlucks are also encouraged. “The Agape Centre distributes over 900 food items each and every working day, and of the 1,000-plus people we help monthly, nearly 400 are children,” said Smith. Councillor Carilyne Hebert is one of many taking part. She described the event as a very creative and easy way to raise funds and awareness for a worthy cause. “People don’t realize the amount of money they are spending on eating out for lunch so often,” said Hebert. “Even doing this just once a month could be an annual donation of $120 to the centre.”

Pride of Glengarry “taking time” to remember her roots CORNWALL, Ontario - It’s been a while since local fiddle darling, Kelli Trottier, has released a new recording, but as sure as spring is around the corner, this next one will be worth the wait. “I’m pretty pumped,” said Trottier about her recently, unofficially-released collection, Taking Time, which she describes as “a mix of half fiddle and half vocal.” To be more precise, four fiddle tracks, three of which she composed, and the remaining six, vocal numbers, include three original songs. “When I was growing up I didn’t sing, but I could write melodies, so song writing for me was a bigger challenge,” said Trottier, about writing instrumentals versus songs. “When I’m writing a fiddle tune, I write something that I feel is ear-catching because that is what appeals to me as a listener, either a nice groove or nice rhythm or a catchy little phrase. I look for dance-ability. Coming from Glengarry, it’s all about filling the dance floor, so that’s a big consideration for me too, when I’m writing a tune.” She says that inspiration comes from anywhere and everywhere. Sometimes the melody comes first, other times, it is a title or topic that takes the lead. An instrumental, written for someone who had passed away, which she titled, Cheryl’s Piece, Trottier says that she kept in mind the woman’s personality, all while maintaining an equal mix of sadness and a celebratory flavour.
The melody for another composition which she, after much consideration, called, The Gift, came very quickly, she says. “It was when I was sick a few years ago. (I received) such great support and love from across the country and beyond, I thought, ‘how do I begin to thank people.’ So I wrote something that I felt would be fun and uplifting, but then I couldn’t come up with a title; it took me forever.” Sometimes, just looking out the window at a “Wicked Winter” or “Cherry Tomatoes” growing on the plant is inspiring. As with all songwriters, love and heartache are also great inspirations and interestingly interpreted in different ways by different people “I wrote a song, Over You Soon, about a relationship, and now people ask me to play it at funerals. That was not my intention, but their interpretation.” One song on the album, especially near and dear to her, is one that she wrote for her father, when he finally sold the last of the cattle from his farm. “It was a really sad day as the trailer was pulling away with the cows,” she said about the song she called The Cows Aren’t Coming Home. “It took me four years to write.” She wanted to get it right for her beloved father, she said. And so she did, leaving the proud dad emotional and speechless the first time he heard it. “He just covered his mouth and had his head down while reading the lyrics sheet. As
Kelli Trottier soon as the song was done he left the room, he couldn’t even talk.” Trottier, who now resides in Kingston, has certainly not forgotten her home, with a tribute track on the new album, simply called, Glengarry.

Great finish to season What a season for the Condors in the U-13 Boys Indoor Soccer. The season started without a win in the first eight games, tying two games and losing six games. But, since the first win, just before the two-week Christmas break, the Condors would only lose one more game, tying another, and winning the remainder of the games. Even though the team finished in last place, the momentum was too much for the other teams, as they would go on to defeat the first place team, the Chiefs, 6-0 in the semifinals and defeat the Cobras 3-0 in the finals to win the gold medal.

Heartbreaking finale for Sharks at Challenge Cup CORNWALL, Ontario - Silver doesn’t shine quite like gold. It was just not in the cards for the SLC Sharks men’s hockey team in the championship game at the 2015 Challenge Cup. SLC battled hard right from puck drop, but ultimately couldn’t capitalize on the limited scoring chances they had against the talented team from Trent University, losing 2-0 and settling for the silver medal. “We needed to score early on when we had a couple of chances,” said Sharks Coach Sean Boulerice. “But we either missed the net, had our shot blocked, or the Trent goalie robbed us. They [Trent University Excalibur] are a talented team, and have been all season.” You wouldn’t know by the way the teams were playing that they had both already played two games that day, but players from Trent and SLC were flying down the ice looking to take an early lead. SLC looked to have a slight edge in shots halfway through the first period, but Trent responded with five solid minutes of pressure that ended in a big SLC shot block that preserved the scoreless tie. Trent would open the scoring early in the second period, with an Excalibur forward sneaking in-behind the SLC defense on a partial breakaway. SLC responded with good offensive pressure through shots coming from the point and getting sticks on the puck on it’s way to the Trent goal, but ultimately not the back of the net. The Sharks had a great two-minute powerplay that produced a few scoring chances, but once again SLC couldn’t capitalize on their opportunity. There was a nerve-racking twominute stretch that had all five SLC players on the ice for an extended shift that, but the Sharks were saved by the second period buzzer before Trent could spend more time in the offensive end. Trent dictated the play to start the third with

Kevin Biggs SLC looking out-of-sync in their own end with several passes missing the tape to escape the defensive zone. Sharks goaltender Ryan Cooper was keeping SLC in it, making several stops down the stretch. After missing on a glorious odd man rush chance, the Sharks caught themselves puck watching on a pretty tic-tac-toe Excalibur goal that had a Trent player all alone at the side of the net. SLC would call a timeout in the final minute of the game to draw up a play, but never got the chance to produce a scoring opportunity, resulting in the Sharks settling for the Silver medal. “The experiences we had over the year mean
more than a medal or trophy ever could,” said Sharks Coach Mike Pettinella. “This loss still hurts but we have a great group of young men in the locker room that have made lasting friendships and experiences as part of being a member of the Sharks hockey club.” The coaches, players, and athletics staff would like to thank all the volunteers for their help putting on the Challenge Cup, TV Cogeco for providing live TV coverage of both semifinal games and the Championship game, and finally to all the fans that came out to all five SLC games. The players and coaches loved playing in front of their friends and family in their own rink. It made the experience of playing in the Challenge Cup that much more special.

La Conseillère de la Ville de Cornwall et avocate Bernadette Clement a annoncé aujourd’hui qu’elle va chercher l’investiture libérale dans la circonscription de StormontDundas-Glengarry sud en vue de la prochaine élection fédérale. En s’adressant à l’auditoire important à l’hôtel Best Western Parkway Inn, Me Clément a expliqué pourquoi elle cherche la nomination. «Je ne peux pas rester à l’écart au moment où nous nous préparons à décider de l’avenir du Canada lors de l’élection de 19 octobre 19 2015. J’ai parlé aux électeurs de toute la circonscription. Ils me disent qu’ils veulent voir un gouvernement qui rassemble vraiment les gens au lieu de diviser notre pays, et qui répond à nos besoins notamment en fait d’infrastructure, de soins de santé et de l’environnement. Ils veulent un gouvernement qui a un plan pour traiter efficacement avec nos problèmes afin que notre avenir soit rempli d’opportunités”, a ajouté Clément, qui a été très impliquée dans la communauté de Cornwall et la région auprès de groupes et d’organisations. «Je sens que je peux faire une contribution positive comme une vraie voix de Stormont, Dundas et South Glengarry au
seraient produits dans son ancien d o m i c i l e. R a p p e l o n s q u e d è s s o n arrestation, il avait été expulsé du caucus conservateur. Puis, quelques jours plus tard, il avait été suspendu du Sénat. Patrick Brazeau a plaidé non coupable à ses accusations. Le procès doit durer trois jours. Une ordonnance de non-publication protège l’identité de la présumée victime. Cette dernière a d’ailleurs témoigné lundi, devant les journalistes et le public, après avoir demandé sans succès l’exclusion des membres des médias de la salle. Le premier témoin à se présenter devant le juge était un technicien en identité judiciaire de la police de Gatineau. Il a présenté quelques photos de la scène de la présumée agression, dont une où l’on peut voir des barreaux d’escalier brisés. Puis, des photos d’ecchymoses sur les bras, le coup et les jambes de la victime ont été présentées. Un soutien-gorge dont une bretelle est brisée a aussi été
déposé comme preuve. La défense a de son côté ajouté que peu de choses prouvent les allégations contre Patrick Brazeau. Il faut rappeler PATRICK BRAZEAU q u e l e s é n a t e u r Brazeau est aussi accusé de fraude et d’abus de confiance et comparaîtra pour ses accusations à Ottawa, en juin.\ Puis, il fait face à d’autres accusations criminelles pour des évènements qui seraient survenus en avril 2014. Cette fois, les faits présumés s’étaient déroulés sur le boulevard Labrosse. Il avait été arrêté pour voie de fait dans un contexte de violence conjugale. En octobre dernier, il a été arrêté en état d’ébriété, avec deux fois la limite permise.

Alexander Shelley, le neo-maestro Le directeur musical de l’Orchestre du Centre national des Arts du Canada, Alexander Shelley, en sera à sa première saison officielle cet automne. Le jeune Anglais n’est pas le premier venu. Né dans une famille ayant la musique classique dans le sang, son parcours impressionne autant par le nombre de spectacles que la qualité des orchestres sur son curriculum vitae. Un parcours qui inclut un arrêt à…Banff! « Oui, à 19 ans! Je me rappelle encore à quel point j’ai adoré mon expérience à L’institut des arts et de l’éducation de Banff est vraiment une région magnifique et les gens étaient extrêmement chaleureux. Mon histoire d’amour avec le Canada a véritablement commencé à la suite de ce séjour.» Son deuxième arrêt en sol canadien n’a eu lieu par contre que dix ans plus tard. «Je suis revenu pour la deuxième fois justement pour travailler avec l’Orchestre du CNA, et j’avais l’impression de n’avoir jamais quitté. J’ai développé une belle relation avec les gens ici.», nous a raconté l’homme de 35 ans. Sollicité dans le monde entier Cette année marquera sa septième saison à l’Orchestre symphonique de Nuremberg. En janvier, il était nommé chef associé du Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, qui sera en représentation au Cadogan Hall de Londres. Berlin, Melbourne, Leipzig, les pays scandinaves et la République tchèque figurent également sur sa liste d’engagement dans les prochaines années. Bref, le nouveau maestro de l’Orchestre du CNA est extrêmement sollicité. À première vue, le contraste entre sa jeunesse flamboyante et les
«habituels» maestros avec un bagage d’expérience égalant leur âge plus souvent qu’autrement. Dans la mi-trentaine, il semble au contraire voir l’âge comme un avantage: «Je dirais que les gens peuvent probablement plus s’identifier à moi. De plus, je suis très confortable de discuter de n’importe quel genre, peu importe la génération à laquelle je m’adresse. Je comprends ce qu’ils aiment et ce qu’ils moins de chaque genre. C’est toujours un plaisir d’ailleurs de pouvoir en parler avec le public.» Esprit de famille Lors d’une brève discussion, le premier chef des concerts jeunesse et famille de l’Orchestre du CNA Alain Trudel mentionnait que le Britannique «avait l’écoute facile» et prenait toujours en compte l’opinion de ses musiciens. Alexander Shelley estime que cette écoute est naturelle: «Nous sommes une grande famille, une équipe très unie. Et cette famille a beaucoup d’idées, et de très bonnes idées. Le travail est toujours plus facile et agréable dans ces conditions. En plus, les autres chefs me font bien paraître avec leur concert de très grande qualité.» Avec la nouvelle saison cet automne, le maestro aura encore la chance de démontrer l’étendue de son talent dans la capitale nationale. Si vous n’avez pas la chance d’y être à Ottawa, vous pourrez toujours vous rendre au RoyaumeUni. Sinon en Allemagne, dans les pays scandinaves, ou là où il acceptera d’y mêler sa magie. Les options ne manquent pas…
L’école Rose des Vents démontre une fois de plus un aspect d’une école internationale en devenir en participant à la dictée PGL. La dictée PGL est un projet pour les élèves du primaire et du secondaire. Le thème de cette année est : L’éducation pour un monde meilleur. Cette fondation travaille afin d’assurer une éducation pour les jeunes dans les pays en voie de développement. L’école Rose des Vents a fait un don à cette fondation de par sa participation. Les élèves de notre école en bénéficient puisqu’ils peuvent vivre une autre expérience s’ils le désirent pour mieux parfaire leur français oral et écrit. Voici comment un élève de l’école Rose des Vents peut se rendre à la finale régionale. En premier lieu, les élèves des
classes de 5e et de 6e année font une dictée préparatoire. Ensuite, l’enseignant responsable sélectionne les quatre ou cinq élèves les plus forts. Ces élèves vont ensuite faire une finale de classe. Le gagnant de cette étape ira à la finale de l’école. Le gagnant de la dernière dictée ira à la finale régionale. Cette année, j’ai fièrement représenté mon école à cette finale. J’ai vraiment aimé l’expérience, même si ça m’a rendu très nerveuse pour les quelques jours avant la dictée et aussi pendant la finale elle-même. Jeudi, le 5 mars dernier, l’école Rose des Vents a accueilli 13 candidats finalistes; 10 dans la catégorie dictée francophone et 3 dans la catégorie français langue seconde. La compétition a été très serrée puisque 4 des participants ont réussi la dictée sans faute. Les juges ont dû corriger les phrases de départage afin de déterminer le gagnant. En conclusion, il faut remercier M. Pierre Beaulieu pour son implication et son dévouement envers cette cause. Un merci aussi à tous les bénévoles et aux parents qui sont venus assister pour soutenir leur enfant.
Monica Brown, élève de 6e année

HOME IMPROVEMENT
What’s old is new again in home decor alive. Frank says Canadians are no longer sticking to neutrals when it comes to carpeting – we’re getting more adventurous with colour again. The new line of Martha Stewart Living carpets offers homeowners rich colours, patterns and textures. Bold browns, avocado greens and rich reds are a few examples of colours being introduced to the decorating world. For more home décor tips visit www. homedepot.ca/designcentre and check out the spring issue of The Home Depot’s DreamBook.
(NC)Vintage trends have been appearing everywhere in recent years; from the return of 60s fashion to cocktails, even slow cooking. The cliche ‘what’s old is new again’ rings true more than ever when it comes to home decor. Frank Turco, senior manager, trend and design, The Home Depot Canada, shares some of the biggest decor comebacks for the season and how to make them work in your home: Mirrored Tile In the 80s, everything and anything that could be covered in mirror was – closet doors, ceilings, even entire walls. While the trend has returned, Frank suggests combining the look of mirrored tiles with a standard tile to give the bathroom a sleek and sophisticated look. Loving Linoleum The vinyl and linoleum flooring that became popular in the 50s are both back and better then ever. Allure’s line of vinyl floors is available in a wide selection of colours and textures. Frank recommends the new Easy GripStrip Installation to make this an easy DIY project. All you need to do is lay this new flooring over old floors. No prep or messy glue required. Carpeting While the brightly coloured shag carpeting of the 1970s has yet to make a comeback, the cost and comfort of wall– to–wall carpeting has kept this trend

T:4”
in the comfort of a fantastic new bed
The moist environment of a bathroom is just made for mildew, so don’t be surprised when it appears on your shower curtain. You can keep it at bay for a while, at least, by soaking curtains and liners in salt water before hanging them. Once their up and mildew appears add 1/2 cup Borox and 1/2 cup vinegar to 2 cups water, spray the affected area generously and let sit 8-10 minutes. Then wipe and rinse.

NO ONE BELIEVES SENIORS
Sadly, no one believes seniors. Everyone thinks they are senile. An elderly couple was celebrating their sixtieth anniversary. The couple had married as childhood sweethearts and had moved back to their old neighborhood after they retired. Holding hands, they walked back to their old school. It was not locked, so they entered, and found the old desk they’d shared, where Jerry had carved “I love you, Sally”. On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armored car, practically landing at their feet. Sally quickly picked it up and, not sure what to do with it, they took it home. There, she counted the money - fifty thousand dollars! Jerry said, “We’ve got to give it back.” Sally said, “Finders keepers.” She put the money back in the bag and hid it in their attic. The next day, two police officers were canvassing the neighborhood looking for the money, and knocked on their door. “Pardon me, did either of you find a bag that fell out of an armored car yesterday?” Sally said, “No.” Jerry said, “She’s lying. She hid it up in the attic.” Sally said, “Don’t believe him, he’s getting senile!” The agents turned to Jerry and began to question him. One said: “Tell us the story from the beginning.” Jerry said, “Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday ......” The first police officer turned to his partner and said, “We’re outta here!”

Pet Tip of the Week: Easter is a wonderful time, especially for children and the Humane Society of Canada is asking people to encourage kindness towards animals in a number of simple ways. Don’t buy animals for Easter. One of the most common ways that causes suffering to animals and people at Easter is when chicks, ducklings and rabbits are given to children. Chicks and ducklings are not appropriate pets. These cute animals can carry the Salmonella bacteria which causes Salmonella poisoning. When things don’t work out with these pets, not only do these beautiful little creatures suffer but so do the children who have become attached to them. Because they are so small and delicate, children may also accidentally harm or even kill these small birds. While rabbits can make great fluffy friends for children, giving them as Easter gifts is a bad idea. These animals are a large responsibility and they can live up to 10 years or more and require, among other things, veterinary care, housing and a special diet. There are several, simple things that you can do to ensure that you have a safe Easter that doesn’t cause suffering to animals. 1. Do not give ducklings, chicks, rabbits or other animals as presents. 2. Do not spend your hard-earned money in stores that try to cash in on impulse buying involving pets. 3. Be careful of the chocolate you buy. Try to ensure that it is lindane-free chocolate. 4. Ensure that pets do not get access to products that could be harmful to them. 5. Educate others about Easter hazards and what they can do.
